Runaway leaders take on Sharks

SELEBI-PHIKWE: Defending champions and log leaders, Gaborone Hogs, seek to continue their fine run when they play Francistown Sharks in the rugby league tomorrow.

Hogs have 29 points- five clear of second-placed UB Rhinos. Their coach, Barend Botha, said his players are fresh after a break last weekend. The team started training on Tuesday. "We are ready for Sharks. We want to continue winning our games and the target is to reach the semi-finals. The pressure is there when you lead the log but it will be sweet if we win the title again," he said.

Botha said all the clubs are targeting Hogs. He said they face a tough assignment against third-placed Sharks. The Francistown side is fresh from a 14-12 win over Desert Whales. While Hogs' roll is expected to continue, the game of the weekend might be in Selebi-Phikwe where EMG Gunners face BDF Cheetahs. The match will decide the team that makes it to the top four. Gunners' spokesperson, Modesto Mazambe, said they are ready to take on Cheetahs.
